Regarding HD traffic, in my 1000 miles a week up and down the UK I find it to be accurate, sometimes I see that the back of the queue on the 540 is exactly where I have stopped.
Yes, sometimes some delays do hang, and some take an age to show but on the whole, id say its pretty damn good.

Unless you are driving a Formula 1 car the wind speed is of little use.

But handy if you're in a boat or glider perhaps? |

You sure that's not the average traffic speed?

I always did dream of sailing - the idea of getting something (motion) for nothing (wind power) really tickled my fancy. But I suppose my iPhone 3 would have to be upgraded to an iPhone 4. If only I'd known before I got it that the 4 was about to arrive.
I do hope the wind will moderate before I go to Swindon tomorrow (oops, today).

OK, so I've got TTG520T, XLLive IQ, GO550Live, GO700, Carminat and iPhone 3GS with CamerAlert for serious (saves all that messing about with weekly downloads and zips and copies and pastes and Warn when near and stuff).
Oh, I forgot, HTC Advantage with TTNav6.
And I went to Purfleet - why don't they have yachts?
